Many voters said they were thrilled to finally have a chance to vote in what has been a turbulent Presidential Election campaign. WBFO's Eileen Buckley talked with some voters in the Kenmore Tonawanda District Tuesday.
There was a steady flow of voters heading in and out of Lindbergh Elementary, one of the Ken-Ton polling sites. Michael Throp didn't say who he voted for, and noted he went back and forth on his decision in recent days.
"Unbelievable. This has been the longest, most ridiculous election season that I can ever recall," declared Throp.
Rebecca Hooper-Yeoh attributes the experience of this presidential campaign to the 1960-race against Democrat John Kennedy and Republican Richard Nixon.
"It was back in the day and I remember going out to the fence and seeing some of the voters screaming and rallying and it was nothing I had every seen before in my life," explained Hooper-Yeoh.
Other voters like George Fanelli tells WBFO he believes whoever wins it's going to take the country a very long time to heal.
"Do you feel empowered, even though this has been such a viscous race?" asked Buckley. "I don't know if it is empowered, so much as it is this is what you are supposed to do as a citizen," replied Fanelli.
